Battle Ferrets Physiology Battle ferrets are cute critters that are akin to normal ferrets, save for just how large they have gotten. Battle ferrets, over the course of years of breeding with the largest ferrets around, gradually grew bigger and bigger. Now they are roughly the size of a large dog. Battle ferrets at their largest, can become 5 feet in length and 2'6 feet in height. These critters can range in any colors a ferret can. Save for their size, they resemble normal ferrets. Battle ferrets also tend to have thicker and fluffier fur, but not neccecarily. Though too small to be ridden by your average decendant, somebody who is Halfling or Musin sized may stand a chance riding these cute creatures. They have rather sharp teeth and claws, able to pierce flesh, regular clothing, and weak armor such as thin leather, but not much else. Battle ferrets do not have any magical properties, and can be communicated to by Druids like any other animal. They can grow to be at maximum 20 years old. They can wear leather armor, and thin metal armor, though it can't cover their bodies completely, or else they wouldn't be able to fight due to the armor restricting their movements. Behavior Battle ferrets are adventurous, rambunctious creatures that require near-constant upkeep. They are mischevious and curious about everything, which often gets them into trouble. Of course, battle ferrets may have ranging personalities, some being more quiet and reserved. In terms of mentality, they are roughly as smart as your average dog, being able to learn commands such as sit, stay, heel, etc. Battle ferrets cannot be taught to understand full sentences. Battle ferrets are usually friendly towards decendants, especially if socialized from a young age. They are sociable, and in the wild often form groups of battle ferrets referred to as a 'bundle' of up to 20 individuals at maximum, but the average bundle has roughly ten battle ferrets. They are quite loyal, and will most likely stay someone's friend as long as they can. They are quite playful, loving to wrestle around with anybody they deem to be their bundlemate. They enjoy excercise, exercise and hate to be kept in confined areas where they cannot properly explore. They also often mimic how their owner, or bundlemates feel towards others. If their owner or bundlemate likes any said person, the battle ferret is much more amiable towards said person. Battle ferrets can indeed be used in battle, hence the name, but they often require constant supervision and guiding on what to do and who to attack, making it difficult for whoever is commanding the battle ferret to fight and control the battle ferret. If the person has more than on battle ferret during combat, the other battle ferrets will scamper off to hide, leaving only one to fight with their owner. Battle ferrets dig burrows to sleep and have kits in, though they generallt are above ground. Habitat Battle ferrets live in a variety of places, but prefer to stick to wooded areas, with plenty of flora and fauna. Due to their thick coats, they are not well-suited towards warmer enviroments such as deserts. They are found in forests, or occasionally romping through sunny meadows. Taming Taming battle ferrets is fairly simple on paper, but in the act, a fair few difficulties can show up. Battle ferrets are often in bundles of around 10 ferrets, so one would first have to single out a battle ferret to tame. It is highly reccomended to take a battle ferret as a kit, or find somebody who breeds battle ferrets and buy an already tamed battle ferret from them. Mother battle ferrets are highly protective over their kits, and make burrows underground to have litters of 4-6 kits. If one manages to take a kit with all their fingers still attached, it is then a fairly simple process of raising and bonding with the kit. If one wishes to tame an adult, they must first seperate the battle ferret from their bundle, and slowly gain it's trust. This process can take anywhere from a week to a few months, depending on how stubborn any paticular battle ferret is. Battle ferrets were not actually originally meant for battle, they merely got their name from their size. Commanding a battle ferret in battle takes [1] emote to tell it what to do, and [1] emote for the battle ferret to actually attack. Origins Battle ferrets, unsuprisingly, originated from normal ferrets. However, the ferrets had quite a few natural predators. These predators included the Porculon Bear, a massive bear like creature with spikes covering it's backside, and the Shardspine Raptor, a dinosaur-like being with shard-like spikes on it's back. The solution? Grow bigger. Battle ferrets, over the course of who knows how many years, gradually became much larger than their normal ferret friends. Now a good 5 feet long, and 2'6 feet tall, battle ferrets are omnivorous creatures, though they tend to lean towards eating more meat than plants. OOC Purpose Just some silly critters to have as pets, or maybe provide a helping hand in battle! Credits Writer- VoidTermnia
